Abstract:As a “bridge between the civilizations of the East and the West”, Pearl S. Buck expresses her wishes of a cultural exchange between the East and the West by all means, an example of such exchange being “interracial” love and marriage, which she not only understood, but supported as well. In her novel Kinfolk, love stories of several couples are told, like the interracial love and marriage between an American youth and a Chinese girl, that between a returned Chinese intellectual from abroad, “a cultural foreigner”, and a traditional Chinese girl. This later novel reflects Pearl S. Bucks maturing views of “interracial” love and marriage.
